On Monday April 29th Megan and Annie were honored to do a Spring Trends hands on training with Teri Dougherty, Modern Salon Magazine - 2008 Colorist of the Year. This workshop featured new trends for this spring with influences right off the fashion runways. These new trends include new color blocking techniques for soft dimensional color and block cutting to make a long layered contemporary bob.  Megan describes these new trends as “soft tone color patterns with less bold color contrast”. Next time you’re in the salon ask Annie or Megan to share their experience with you.
